GCP Board votes to endorse Health and Human Services Levy

The Greater Cleveland Partnership Board of Directors voted last week to endorse the Cuyahoga County Health and Human Services Levy (HHS) , which will be on the November ballot, and to provide $15,000 in support.

“This levy supports many critical health and human services activities that are critical to the well-being of our community including MetroHealth and services for seniors, children and families,” said GCP President and CEO Joe Roman. “This levy is important to our ability to take care of increasing needs.”

Ten private- and public-sector leaders, representing billions of dollars of current and future construction projects in the City of Cleveland, today endorsed key sections of the historic Community Benefits Agreement Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to make inclusion a priority in planning and developing projects.

The Senate has already passed its version and awaits the House’s action to conference the likely differences that will emerge between the two bills.
